You called me on the phone
you wanted to hear my voice
You asked me how I was
I told you England was nice
I have been away for a year
the distance hasn't gotten much easier
I know I should be back in America by now
but I keep finding reasons to stay here
The rain keeps me cleansed
from my personal demons I have inside
The friends I have made are exceptionally beautiful
they keep me from losing my mind
The sunrises here look like paintings
you can only touch in a dream
My nights at the pub are where I unwind
and I feel as if I can do anything
Everyday I am fighting a battle
of being in love with a place and a person
England is a love affair
that grasped at my heart strings and never let go
I've planned on coming here for most of my life
I knew this would happen one day
I just never thought I would end up meeting my soulmate
one month before I was to go away
I know people can go at anytime
and that places will always stay where they are
However I feel like I have finally found myself
and for the first time I'm not scared of anything at all
I don't want to lose you
but I know you'll never come here
The last thing I wanted was to hurt you
I'm sorry but I'm not leaving England
